C 
Left you last night on the left coast 

                           G 
Writin' you a letter right now 

    C                  F 
The things that you do render in you 

G                          C 
Somethin' I can't live without 

C 
Maybe maybe I've got a pulse now 

                    G 
Maybe my heart's on fire 

      C                           F 
But a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage 

           G                   C 
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire 

                                   F 
Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage 

           G                   C 
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire 

C 
Left you last night on the left half 

                           G 
The land of the free to be burned 

         C                     F 
Well the heat of your touch is makin' it such 

            G                      C 
And I've forgotten everything I've learned 

C 
Maybe maybe I've got a problem 

                   G 
Maybe my heart's a liar 

      C                           F 
But a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage 

           G                   C 
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire 

                                   F 
Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage 

           G                   C 
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire 

Am        F              C       G 
And I may be a bird in a cage 

                  Am        F   C   G 
But it least it's your cage 

Am        F              C    G 
And I may be a bird in a cage 

                  Am        F   C   G 
But it least it's your cage 

C 
Left you last night on the left half 

                                     G 
Of the bed, the half that used to be mine 

         C                         F 
Well the way that you sleep is the image I keep 

G                        C 
Always on the edge of my mind 

C 
Maybe maybe I got a reason 

                              G 
For livin' even though I'm so tired 

      C                           F 
But a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage 

           G                   C 
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire 

                                   F 
Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage 

           G                   C 
Is worth a bird on a telephone wire 

Am        F              C       G 
And I may be a bird in a cage 

                  Am        F   C   G 
But it least it's your cage 

Am        F              C    G 
And I may be a bird in a cage 

                  Am        F   C   G 
But it least it's your cage 

C 
Maybe maybe you are the only 

                 G 
one my heart's desired 

      C                           F
